It's an instantly recognisable style which has been moving into the mainstream for years now. The look and culture was at it's strongest during the 1980s but began in the late 60's and went hand in hand with common values of anti-establishments, non conformity, direct action and not selling out, which makes it a funny one to be so on trend! There was a strong unity in style and almost 'gang' mentality but we look up to their DIY and individual ethic which is something we do believe in so we have chosen this style as one of our favourite A/W '13 trends.
Here are some classic punks who we do look up to for what they do, believe in and of course their icon styles!
